Srní (German: Rehberg) is a municipality and village in Klatovy District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 300 inhabitants.
The hamlet of Vchynice-Tetov I is an administrative part of Srní.
The village was named Rehberg (literally "roe deer mountain") in German and later Srní (i.e. "roe deer's") after roe deers that were abundant in the area.[2]
Srní is located about south of Klatovy and 72km (45miles) south of Plzeň. It lies in the Bohemian Forest and in the Šumava National Park. The highest point is the mountain Adamova hora at 1078m (3,537feet) above sea level. The rivers Křemelná and Vydra flow along the municipal borders, which then merge into the Otava River in the northeastern part of the territory.
Srní was founded by Baron Schmiedl in 1726[2] or 1727 as a lumberjack settlement.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Srní is the Church of the Holy Trinity. It was built in 1804–1805.[3]
An important technical monument is the Vchynice-Tetov Canal. It was constructed to float wood in 1799–1801. It joined the Křemelná and Vydra rivers to get around unnavigable section of the Vydra.[3] [4]
There is a visitor centre with wolf enclosure in the municipality.[5]
